NASA space-flown Robbins medallions were first struck for the crew of Apollo 7 and launched into space on 11 October 1968. These mission-specific commemorative medallions (often astronaut-designed) were NASA-approved and struck in sterling silver by the Robbins Company of Attleboro, Massachusetts. Since 1968, the crew of every manned NASA spaceflight (i.e., Apollo, Skylab, and the Space Shuttle) have had Robbins medallions struck to commemorate their mission. ==Space-flown numismatic items==
Numismatic souvenirs have accompanied astronauts on nearly every early spaceflight. Mercury astronauts carried small light-weight mementos on their missions, often in the form of US coins or banknotes. On the first sub-orbital flight (Mercury-Redstone 3), Alan Shepard carried with him four one-dollar silver certificates which were subsequently signed by him, other Mercury astronauts, and support staff becoming a short snorter. John Glenn, piloting the first manned U.S. orbital spaceflight Mercury-Atlas 6 also carried several one-dollar silver certificates. Space-flown numismatic items are also known for early Gemini missions. On the first manned Gemini flight (Gemini 3), Grissom and Young brought 50 two-dollar bills. Young also made history for smuggling "contraband" on board the flight, in the form of a corned-beef sandwich.
